Baker Hughes, Mocean Energy, Verlume Ink MOU
environments.Over an initial two-year period, the MoU will see the three parties utilise and share their combined capabilities within the subsea market to enable the deployment of a reliable, uninterrupted power supply located at point of use for cost-effective and market-competitive electrical power solutions. This could be within temporary, permanent or back-up use cases, including for charging systems for underwater vehicles and subsea production control systems.Within the scope of the MoU, Baker Hughes will bring its expertise as a leader in the design and manufacture of subsea production
MTR100: Saildrone takes USVs to the Next Level
.Started in 2014, Saildrone has emerged as a leader in the Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) space, having received more than $100m in venture capital to date with more than 100 vehicles manufactured and 30 in the water. “Saildrones are wind and solar powered USVs, which are augmented by onboard power solutions,” said Jenkins. Saildrone has three models of vehicles: the Explorer, the Voyager and the Surveyor. The 23-ft. Explorer is wind and solar powered, designed to conduct long endurance (6 to 12 months) in the open ocean in 10,000 to 15,000 miles voyages. Jenkins said this vehicle is well-suited
